warning that the interstate commerce bill
1.-THE exclusion of the competitor) COM
pels them to advance their rates.
1t is not easy to understand how capital
will be encouraged to invest in new manu-
featuring ventures upon faith in the sta
bility of a law-destroying competition,
which contains within itself provisions for
its suspension. The capitalist who would
invest upon such dependence would aptly
illustrate a coarse but expressive proverb.
If the statement is insisted upon by the
Chronicle as verify, that the wholesale mer-
chant in San Francisco pays now hut half
a cent pound for freight, who previously
paid two cents, implying that the result is
due to the striking down of rail competi-
ton, then there is claimed by that paper
a marvellous reversal of commercial laws.
If it is intended as a mere parable, it is
i'll stated and weak. The final hypotheti-
cal case of the Chronicle is more be-
wildering than any of its previous efforts
in that direction. Thus. if an article is
to be manufactured here, because it can
be made cheaper than it can be imported
under the new condition of things, then
it will be because higher price can be
charged for it than when competition ex-
listed, and the difference must come out OF
the consumer. The Chronicle should cease
its vain attempts to establish that non
competition between carriers of goods to,
and produce from this coast, will tend to
materially benefit of the people. The task
is beyond its capacity.

THE ELECTION TO-DAY.

The amendments to be voted upon to-
day have been repeatedly, and we think
clearly and fairly, presented in these col
umns, and all the considerations which
should induce citizens to vote for them
have been plainly and forcibly set forth.
1t is not, we apprehend, the time to now
recapitulate them at length. There GER
tainly can be no misapprehension con-
corning these important measures Num-
bers one and two relate exclusively to the
Supreme and Superior Courts. The first it
is proposed to better equip for the business
demands that now overburden it. It is
far in arrears with its calendars, and needs
the additional aid of the Supreme Court
Commission, and of the power to render
department judgments on the concurrence
Of a less number of Justices than the law
now exacts, and thus expedite its work 1t
should, as is universally admitted, have
the power to select from its membership
the Justice who presides over its deliber-
ations; it should be empowered to certify,
for removal, such of its members as be-
come worn out, and these should be retired
on the reasonable salary specified for the
remainder of their terms That the
salaries ought to be increased to 81 800, we
take it, is beyond reasonable objection.
The second Court will be affected by the
amendments only to the extent of properly
salarying such of the Judges as preside
where there is the largesr amount of bust
ness. These measures all tend to elevate
the Judiciary, to make it more independent
and to call to the bench the highest
ability.
Amendment number three simply pro-
poses that incorporated cities, by election,
may adopt charters of their own framing.
1t is an effort to bring municipal govern
ment nearer to the people, and to relieve
cities from the tinkering and intermeddling
of Legislatures. If there is a reason
ably full vote to-day the amend
ments viii surely be adopted. If they
are defeated, it will be because of the stay
at-home brigade. To-day every we'll
meaning citizen ought to consider it his
duty to do some work for the State. There
are no personal candidates before the peo-
pie in to-day's election, and there will
therefore be no incentive, except that
which springs from patriotic and broad
minded citizenship, to urge men to vote
Good citizens will find no one to-day
working at the polls except such as feel it
to be duty to labor for the State without
other reward than the consciousness of
duty-doing. Those who oppose the amend
ments will, however, be found to be vigi-
liant and active. 1t behooves the people
who believe in advancement to turn out
to-day and give something of time from
ordinary vocations for the betterment of
the whole people and the improvement of
our judicial and municipal departments.
